i was wondering why my showers were starting to feel like standing in the rain on planet clorox

...and now i know why. seems the silverlake and elysian reservoirs -- one a few blocks from our house, the other close by drivewise -- has got the cancer. cancer-causing chemicals, anyway.

sounds like the threats to our health were minimal (didn't they tell that to the 9/11 workers, too?), but i am not looking forward to taking dog strolls around an empty, three-mile radius concrete pit over the next six months.
